      PERCEPTION and INVISIBILITY

      Mim KingThis month will explore what hidden and invisible movement the body contains and how to make this visible. Mim King has a specific interest in exploring the Connective Tissue and the Autonomic Nervous System of the body: how this shapes our perception of the world and how we move and sense ourselves within it.

      There will be workshops and studio based time, research time and discussion. There will be a session with a Bowen Technique Practitioner to talk about the Intelligence of the Body held within the body’s myo-fascia system. The programme will include an Ideokinesis workshop which is a process and practice of using mental imagery to affect the body’s postural alignment via the autonomic nervous system, in order to bring body alignment and perception into greater equilibrium.

      Mim KingThe role of the ‘imagination’ in the creation of dance and performance will provide a focus for exploration. This will include a dance workshop with sight- restricted people and dance workshops from a butoh based background. There will also be an opportunity to exploring a process of writing and creating performance from memories and imprints held within our bodies.

      This month will provide an opportunity to share themes that are important to Mim’s practice. It will provide a foundation and a body of research that could inspire participants in creating live work and captivate those who attend the public events, workshops and discussions.
